Jul 1, 2024, 02:03 PM

Isaiah Hartenstein, formerly of the New York Knicks, has agreed to a three-year, $87 million deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hartenstein's new contract, averaging $29 million per year, significantly exceeds the Knicks' maximum offer of $18.1 million annually. The Thunder, eager to bolster their roster, have added Hartenstein's size, skill, and physicality to their lineup. This move follows the acquisition of Alex Caruso, as OKC leverages its cap space before it becomes more constrained. Hartenstein's performance last season with the Knicks played a key role in securing this lucrative contract. The Thunder, a top West seed, are aiming to strengthen their position further.
